Microscope One or more lense that makes an enlarged image of an object.
Types of Microscopes • Simple • Compound • Stereoscopic • Electron
Simple Microscope • Similar to a magnifying glass and has only one lense.
Compound Microscope • Lets light pass through an object and then through two or more lenses.
Stereoscopic Microscope • Gives a three dimensional view of an object. (Examples: insects and leaves)
Electron Microscope • Uses a magnetic field to bend beams of electrons; instead of using lenses to bend beams of light.
A Lense • Enlarges an image and bends the light toward your eye.
Eyepiece Lense Usually has a power of 10 x
Eyepiece Lense X Objective Lense = Total Magnification
Objective Lenses Low Power = 4 x Medium Power = 10 x High Power = 40 x
